New YouTube video 😀✨🎵, a 2017 piano instrumental of The Tolkien Ensemble 's "Song of Gondor", a poem from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a karaoke-style video, complete with the lyrics of the song, and accompanied by imagery inspired by the White Tree of Gondor.

Anyone want an arrangement of the Lighting of the Beacons by Howard Shore? I arranged it for string orchestra (violin 1 & 2, viola, cello, bass) and this includes the full score plus the seperate parts. I just decided I wanted to have the sheet music to play the violin part, but I no longer have a quartet or orchestra to play it with :( so you guys can have it for free. I also have arrangements for many other lotr songs for the violin, if anyone wants any.

if your dad (1) goads the king into challenging him to a fight, (2) accepts the king's challenge to fight, (3) insults the king's daughter that he's super protective of, and (4) hits the king first in the fight then I don't think you can be that mad when the king accidentally one punch kills your dad. that's kinda on your dad for getting into that situation and I think he might've had some underlying health issues that contributed to the single punch instantly killing him

For those of you who never knew as it's a detail one can easily miss (especially depending on which aspect ratio you're viewing in) but a lovely detail at that: Pippin was in the hobbit band in the background!

He's the one playing the banjolele!

These shots I have of the scenes where he is most visible are from the Fullscreen edition (A DvD I own and often watch for the different viewing experience). I believe in the Widescreen edition their heads are cut off by the aspect ratio-- so it's easy to miss!

And for those of you who haven't put it together already, yes! That is our beloved Merry standing next to him as they both watch Frodo dance.

Mind you, Merry is not in the band. A few scenes prior he was actually along the precession line of bringing in Bilbo's Birthday cake. He probably came up to the platform to talk to Pippin, give him a mug of something to drink and inevitably snatch him away for some mischief. Because after this brief scene, Pippin is then absent from the stage-- he and Merry are going to go swipe some fireworks!

Someone’s prob caught this long before me, but:

In Lord of the rings (fellowship) we see the ring leaving Gollum and bouncing and rolling down the rocks:

The ring wanted to leave Gollum and therefore did.

It’s then picked up by Bilbo unwillingly; has an ‘unexpected journey’; and stays with him.

But when Bilbo is leaving, he decides to leave the ring with Frodo. The ring however, wants to stay and keep wielding its power and influence over him.

And when, at Gandalf’s insistence, Bilbo drops the ring, it still doesn’t want to leave him:

Which is why it falls flat, no bouncing or rolling away. It thuds to the floor like a child might stomp its foot when not getting its way.

I dunno how i’ve never caught this b4, and I may just be stupid and ppl have spoken bout this b4 but i’m a nerd and can’t help but mention it unprompted.

@lotrweek day 6: songs and tales

stories we tell will cast their spell

[perplexingly]

A Secret Santa gift for the-daughter-of-a-wolf for the exchange organized on the Watermill Theatre musical discord fan server. It’s Legolas and Gimli visiting the northern forests and the Glittering Caves like they promised each other

“That’d be Ori’s hand. He could write quite well and speedily.” -Gimli

or, the final words of Khazad-Dûm

happy opening to the lord of the rings: a musical tale at the chicago shakespeare theatre!

[tending-the-hearth]

my favorite trio dynamic is "romantic couple who would do anything for each other and their Platonic Guy that they would also do anything for"

I have ascended to the level of nerdy knits where you spend a solid year modifying patterns, knitting prototypes, and learning to design cable knit patterns in order to make wrist warmers with the Doors of Durin design from The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale on them 😂 No regrets.

As a huge Gimli fangirl, I'm very excited that I finally succeeded in replicating this design, which is featured both on the doors and on Gimli's coat in the show! Kudos for the original design to the incredible Simon Kenny! 🙏

Now THIS is how you make a new story set in Middle Earth—great music FIRST!

[serendipitouslyyyyyy]

listen. in theory, i know that the hobbit was published in the 1930s and lotr was published in the 1950s, but conceptually, that's never fully sunk in. people were talking about bilbo baggins while world war ii bombs were flying overhead. discussing their favorite characters merry and pippin alongside the news of the brand new polio vaccine. making jokes about mordor between fireside chats. like that's absolutely crazy to me. unreal

[mer-acle]

Hc time ( @sarnai4 I think you will approve)

During the war on the giants Athena and Ares had a challenge going who'd score more kills

Actual footage:

(There is no definite final result to this day bc Ares is of the opinion that a two-headed giant "still only counts as one")

legolas, as portrayed by yazdan qafouri in the watermill theatre's revival of the LOTR musical from last summer.

still obsessed with it, and very much enamoured with this south asian inspired look for legolas in his red kurta and sash. love love love it.
